PS: I just finished 3 hours of paperwork. Now I get to go to my shop and work for 8 to 10 hours. I should have bought one of those TV infomercial products where you can 'get rich quick by owning your own business with only 4 to 6 hours of work each week". Oh well. Maybe in my next life? I wonder what Don Lapre will be doing in his next life?

PPS: I know it's not Friday.

You mean you don't just walk out to your mailbox everyday wearing just your bathrobe to collect those big checks coming in?

Walk??? Are you kidding! Gene drives his Cadillac to the mail box.

I'm pretty sure Gene has a hooded golf cart to get his mail.   (In real life, I stopped for a school bus last week and at least two moms headed off down the street from the bus stops in their golf carts.)


My favorite saying:
"There is hardly anything in this world that some man cannot make a little worse
and sell a little cheaper, and those people who consider price only, are this man's lawful prey. It is unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money - that is all.   When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot; it cannot be done.   If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better"

John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)

What makes you people think that Gene even HAS to check his own mail?
I'm sure that he has people for that. ;D

Hammer's favorite IS a good one, but I think you would have a tough time selling that concept on the modern day consumer. Advertisers have convinced the public that they really CAN indeed have it both ways.

I have a driveway that is 5 miles long, perfectly straight and level. My mail box is at the end of my driveway.

I drive my Bugotti Veyron down my driveway to pick up my mail each day. The 5 mile long driveway allows me to get up to 250 mph. Even if Obama reduces postal mail delivery by one day, I'll still be driving down to check the mailbox everyday.

My favorite saying is a line from "The Wizard of Oz".
Dorothy asks the scarecrow "If you don't have a brain, how can you talk?".
His reply is "I don't know.....but a lot of people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don't they?"

[Darren Henry]

a lot of people without brains do an awful lot of talking
